The third volume in the ARS
NOVA Copenhagen and Paul Hillier’s Heinrich Schütz
series showcases the Johannes-Passion (St. John’s Passion)
and Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreutz (Seven Last Words of
Christ). Dacapo’s Schütz series aims to record all the
passions and oratorios of Schütz and this is another fine
example of the early Baroque vocal music that is said to have
inspired J.S Bach.
